1. I would like to know what the three nazis on the court ruled, of course I am

talking about Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch. though I suspect it will be a 5-4 decision.

[Renew Deal]

4. Looks like 6-3

ROBERTS , C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which SOTOMAYOR , KAGAN, BARRETT , and JACKSON, JJ., joined. JACKSON, J.,filed a concurring opinion, in which SOTOMAYOR , J., joined as to the introduction and Part I. KAVANAUGH , J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment and dissenting in part. THOMAS , J., filed a dissenting opinion,in which GORSUCH, J., joined. ALITO , J., and GORSUCH, J., filed dissenting opinions.

I can't understand what Gorsuch is doing. He knows better.

6. I seem to remember it was thought Gorsuch's pro-American Indian questioning at the time

indicated he'd support birthright citizenship. I'll let someone else analyse how he ended up on the wrong side of history.

7. He prides himself on being a conservative's conservative. Final tally 5 to 4. nt

9. This will still go down as the worst SCOTUS in the last 100 years, at least.

Overturning Roe, immunity for Trump, giving him control of independent federal agencies, gutting the Civil Rights Act... I'm sure there is more.

[NoRethugFriends]

10. Uh, you know this was a good decision, right?

[Martin Eden]

11. Yes. Why do you ask?

The subject title of my post included the word "still" which means this SCOTUS is still the worst - despite this favorable ruling.

Perhaps "nevertheless" would have been a better word, making it less likely my meaning would be misinterpreted.

13. Got it. Sorry for not reading carefully enough

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

16. Good decision, but sad that it wasn't 9-0.

17. Worst since the Taney court

The worst in at least the last 162 years.

18. It's a conservative dream.

Until we get a democratic president.
Then they will have to change every thing back.

[Martin Eden]

19. "Conservative" means rightwing authoritarian

And disregard for constutional law & precedent when it doesn't align with the outcome they want.

[TBF]

14. About time they got one correct - should've been unanimous. nt
